The Fujifilm F800EXR is able to wirelessly connect to a smartphone or tablet, record the user’s current location data provided by the smartphone or tablet’s location data (latitude and longitude), and display it on the F800EXR’s LCD. You can also send the camera’s images to your smartphone or tablet to display on a map where images were shot. It has a database of approximately 1 million landmarks worldwide. Do you want to figure out the distance from your present location to the place where a tagged photo was taken? You can! Or do you want to find a nearby landmark but are not sure which way to go?
